Contact Us & Disclosures

This site is run by two beauty bloggers, Jessica & Justina.  We created this website together in October of 2011 to review our favorite beauty, fashion, and lifestyle products.  We have recently branched off to create our own independent sites, but have decided to keep this site open to post giveaways and other happenings.  

You can find our new sites here:
www.justinasgems.blogspot.com

Our shared facebook page now serves as a forum for the beauty community:

  1. Greetings,

    My name is Arvind Jay Dixit, CEO and Founder, of Bubblews.com. We are an innovative social blogging network we created where the bloggers are compensated for their thoughts in the form of being paid out per view, comment, like/dislike and social media share for every post they write. I am getting in contact with you to extend an invitation to join our community. It is 100% free to use and is very user friendly. I would love to answer any questions you may have, and be able to set up a time to speak with you over the phone about it. Bubblews.com is a movement, our community is tired of the fact that many corporate social networking sites profit off of users’ interests (private data) and do not compensate back. Bubblews.com is putting an end to that.
    More information can be found:

    I look forward to your response.
